Spicy Hummus "Butter" Board

Swapping the butter from the current butter board trend for hummus. Hummus layered with sundried tomatoes, crispy chickpeas, green olives, fresh herbs and spicy harissa oil.

WHAT ARE BUTTER BOARDS

Butter boards are all the rage at the moment. Think a charcuterie board, but with butter.

Butter is spread on a board and sprinkled with anything you like on it, such as roasted garlic, toasted almonds, chilli flakes, feta, fresh herbs, honey, etc. This is enjoyed by scooping it up with bread.
